This has become a serious event. I like.

We are missing the two Bens, and the initials of James.

Doubtless our fearless organiser is about to ask us a question (menu), to which my answer is as follows:
• Soup of the day;
• Burger + fries + salad;
• Welsh rarebit.

[mcoulson]

James initials are JV

[mcoulson]

James would like the scotch egg & bangers & mash please..

And can I have soup and a burger please
